CVE-2026-114633 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.5 · Published 2026-10-22

WWBN AVideo is a self-hosted video platform that manages user accounts and permissions. An attacker with delegated "Users Admin" access could delete or modify administrator accounts—removing their videos, changing their credentials, or demoting them—despite not being an administrator themselves. This could block legitimate administrative access and destroy critical content.

## How to fix

- Fixed in commit 9c7cadaee8f472e9f6584b941af1bdaed5668145 or later; no numbered release verified

Remove the delegated Users Admin permission from non-administrator accounts until the application is updated.

## Technical details

The vulnerability is an authorization bypass in the user deletion endpoint (confirmDeleteUser.json.php) and account editing endpoint (userAddNew.json.php) that fails to verify the target's administrator status. A delegated Users Admin account can submit authenticated requests with valid CAPTCHA and security tokens to delete administrator accounts or modify their fields, bypassing the administrator boundary. The fix implements UserAccountMutationLock to serialize mutations and re-check the target's administrator flag to prevent concurrent privilege-escalation race conditions.

## Affected products

- WWBN AVideo before 29.4.0 (commit 9c7cada)
